Today, my boss called me into his office. After yelling and firing me, his assistant comes in telling him he had mistaken me for someone else. He did not give me my job back, as he claimed it would make an awkward work environment. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML
Today, my boss fired me. I still can't really explain where the slap I gave him for it came from, though. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. He then fired me. Upset, I asked him, "Well, who's gonna replace me?" His answer was, "I don't know and don't care. Everyone who works here hates you. Now go away." FML
Today, I had the great pleasure of meeting my replacement, who was sitting at my desk in my office. My boss must've forgotten to mention to me that I've been fired. FML
Today, my boss finally pronounced my name correctly. My name was then followed by the words, "You're fired." FML
Today, I overheard my boss talking about me on the phone. Turns out he was drunk off his ass when he gave the go-ahead to hire me, and he's now searching for any excuse to legally fire me. FML
Today, my boss threw me out of her office during a conference call for daring to correct her. The client fired the company because she subsequently got all the information on the call wrong, and plainly had no idea what was going on. From all the screaming, this is now all my fault. FML
Today, at work one of my co-worker was oddly nice to me; and my boss, who usually always says hi to me, didn't look or speak to me. Later that day I found out that I was going to be fired, not because my boss told me but because my picture was missing from the wall of employees. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You can use the assistant as a witness and sue your boss for Wrongful Termination

Some how I think the assistant will "dis-remember".

Awkward yea. But you likely can fight it and either j Get your job back or a settlement where you won't need that job.

At least where I live, it's my (possibly incorrect) understanding that many places (including the one where I live) have "at-will" employment. That means that, unless the OP can show proof of anything actionable (such as racial, or gender, or age, or disability, or in some places, orientation or other protected categories etc. discrimination), then their employment may have been bi-laterally "at-will". The rules governing such are meant to protect both parties -- they prevent any legal necessity for tendering notice to leave a position in the case of either an untenable work environment or a more lucrative opportunity arising, and likewise, they (unfortunately in this case) allow an employer to divest themselves of any employee that they decide it would be in the organization's best interest to be shut of. I'm in no way siding with the incredible jerk who harmed the OP, just seriously questioning whether the OP would have any *legal* recourse, in an at-will environment.

That really sucks. Your boss sounds like he's an ass with too much pride. He should just admit he made a mistake. FYL
